Cowboy sells connected e-bikes, a high-ticket product people take weeks to decide on, and they do it through Shopify. I audited how the store performs (below). Look here if you sell something expensive that buyers need convincing on, and you want to see how a brand handles the long decision.

Site audit
96/100highNo product review schema detected (hurts rich results + trust)
Why Review schema is what puts star ratings in Google results. Without it you lose the trust signal that lifts click-through.
Fix Add Product, Organization, and BreadcrumbList JSON-LD. Many themes include it; a schema app fills gaps.
mediumHTML document is 783 KB (large)
Why Heavy pages load slower, and slower pages rank lower and convert worse. Speed is money on a storefront.
Fix Trim the homepage: fewer sections, lazy-load below the fold, and remove unused app embeds.
mediumNo BreadcrumbList schema (helps rich results)
Why This schema powers breadcrumb and product rich results in Google. Without it your listings look plainer and get fewer clicks.
Fix Add Product, Organization, and BreadcrumbList JSON-LD. Many themes include it; a schema app fills gaps.
medium67/67 images missing alt text (SEO + a11y)
Why Alt text is how search and screen readers understand images. Missing it loses image-search traffic and fails accessibility.
Fix Add descriptive alt text to product and content images in the theme editor / product media.
mediumFew modern image formats (WebP/AVIF) — larger downloads
Why Oversized, eagerly-loaded images are usually the biggest drag on Core Web Vitals, which Google uses for ranking.
Fix Serve WebP/AVIF — Shopify's CDN can, so re-upload large images or use an image-optimizer app.

Checkout and tracking
74/100mediumShopify Web Pixels manager
Why Shopify's Web Pixels manager is the migrated way to run tracking after checkout extensibility. Not seeing it suggests your tracking may still rely on the legacy path that's being removed.
Fix Set up your tracking through Settings > Customer events (Custom Pixels) and the official channel apps so it runs on the extensibility-based checkout.
mediumLegacy: Google Tag Manager container in the page
Why A GTM container that fed checkout tracking is exactly what the Additional Scripts lockdown broke. Purchase events routed through it can silently stop attributing revenue.
Fix Rebuild any checkout/purchase tags as a Custom Pixel via Settings > Customer events (Web Pixel API), or use the official channel apps. Don't rely on a GTM container for checkout events.
Check in your admin
- Settings > Checkout shows an "Upgrade" button. That means you're still on the legacy checkout. Unmigrated stores auto-revert to a default checkout by August 26, 2026 (August 13, 2026 for Plus).
- Any live Shopify Scripts (discounts, shipping, payment). Shopify Scripts stopped running on June 30, 2026. Rebuild that logic as Shopify Functions or your custom discount/shipping/bundle rules silently stopped working.
- The Additional Scripts field still has code in it. That field was locked August 28, 2025. Anything there no longer runs at checkout, so move it to Custom Pixels or official apps.
- Thank-you / order-status page customizations. Legacy order-status page edits don't carry over. Rebuild them as checkout UI extensions or post-purchase blocks.
- checkout.liquid customizations in your theme. checkout.liquid is deprecated and being removed. Move branding to the Checkout Editor and logic to UI extensions + Functions.
- Place a low-value test order after any tracking or checkout change. This is the one thing this checker can't do for you. We only see the storefront HTML, not what your ad platforms received. After any pixel, consent-banner, theme, or checkout change, buy something cheap and confirm the exact order value AND currency landed in GA4 and each ad platform. A pixel debugger showing an event firing does not prove the value and currency arrived correctly.
